In this artistic activity, learners blow up a smaller picture into a larger one, by using a grid.

In this activity, learners make a foam packing peanut "flink"--neither float away nor sink--in water. Learners experiment with materials to make a Flinker that "flinks" for 10 seconds.

In this activity, learners will explore probability using dice. They will predict and then roll the dice to observe how many rolls it would take to repeat a matching pair. Learn track predictions vs.

In this math activity, learners play a game that helps reinforce learners' understanding of the coordinate system.

In this optics activity, learners use everyday materials to make a color wheel. When learners spin the wheel like a top, they will be surprised to see all the colors mixing together to appear white.

In this activity, learners explore the potential of interchangeable standard parts to create a large number of unique creations in different combinations.

In this quick activity, learners practice locating a constellation in a map of very dark skies.

In this activity, learners use sets of cards to assign microorganisms to different groups.

In this math activity related to volume, learners use problem solving skills to calculate and build a model house for Minus the dog.

In this activity (8th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners make their own set of Braille letters. Learners use glue to make raised dots on a Braille Alphabet Sheet.

In this activity, learners build bridges out of newspaper and tape to explore how structures are designed to bear loads.
